Article Abstract
Lingual myoclonus is a poorly understood disorder that may occur in isolation or combined with palatal myoclonus. In this report, we present the case history of a 21-year-old patient with a therapy-resistant essential lingual and palatal myoclonus where a simple dental device was able to control symptoms. The use of this device will be highlighted and compared to previously described methods. Cases of previously recorded lingual and palatal myoclonus will be reviewed and compared to the case of our patient.

Here we presented a rare case of Lafora disease with neuropathy, ataxia and progression of symptoms into type one DM, GTCS and myoclonus during years. We believe that it is important to keep the diagnosis of Lafora disease in mind in every child presenting with myoclonus especially when mental and cerebellar deficits develop as well.
